With a few minutes research, I noted the following from the ps2pdf documentation: "ps2pdf will sometimes convert text to high-resolution bitmapped fonts rather than to embedded outline fonts. This will occur when the PostScript file uses Type 3, CIDFontType 1, or CIDFontType 4 fonts, or Type 0 fonts that reference any of these; it may also occur in some cases if the input file uses fonts with non-standard encodings, or in some other rare cases." The default setting of EmbedAllFonts for ps2pdf is "true", so using ps2pdf to convert to PDF should embed everything if these font types are avoided. Of course, this may be a problem with non-Roman character sets, which are likely to be available as CID fonts only. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
